food IS a theme park
Quick! There’s a new sale happening on the Disney Store website, and it’s a good one. Whether you’re looking for a gift for Valentine’s Day or in need of a new bag, we’re here to help.
Mickey & Friends purple canvas tote bag
There’s a new sale happening on the Disney Store website, but only for a limited time! You can get a NEW Disney tote bag for just $18. Here’s how to activate the deal!
While we had to say goodbye to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for at least a year as it closes for refurbishment, and Astro Orbiter and the Hall of Presidents will also be closing later this month, it isn’t all bad news coming out of Magic Kingdom.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closed
With the holidays being over, Lightning Lane prices have started to decrease and the Main Street Bakery debuted some new Starbucks menu items. But there is even more good news that we wanted to share!
Disney Cruise Line continues to grow and expand.
Disney Wish
We absolutely love the Disney Wish when it first set sail in 2022. We also recently got to set sail on Disney Cruise Line’s LATEST ship, the Disney Treasure, while we’re waiting on the Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure to take their first cruises later this year. However, Disney Cruise Line recently announced four MORE new ships were coming to its fleet, and now we have NEW details about those ships: we know how big they’ll be.
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
We FINALLY have full menus for the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom is now closed for an entire YEAR, celebrities like Joe Jonas, T-Pain, TLC & more are coming to Universal this spring, and is Disney going to put The Simpsons inside of their theme parks? We’re going to talk about it and plenty more.
There’s no way of putting this gently: Disney World is going to be a bit of a mess this year and probably next year, too.
Animal Kingdom
That’s because a TON of new construction projects are happening in three out of Disney World’s four parks, meaning you’re going to see construction walls and detours EVERYWHERE (it’s like the EPCOT transformation times three). Magic Kingdom is getting an expansion AND a new land. Hollywood Studios is getting a new land. Animal Kingdom will also be getting a new land, resulting in construction walls and closures. Well, we’ve now got some maps to give you an idea of what Animal Kingdom will look like over the next few years.
Is anyone else craving something sweet?
Disney Springs
There are so many snacks around Disney World; it can be hard to choose between them. From the best snacks to the worst sacks, we’ve tried them all! This week, we stopped by Disney Springs to put another sweet treat to the test.
If there’s ANYTHING you can count on in Disney World, it’s that it will probably rain at least ONCE during your trip.
It will rain on your Disney World trip, trust us.
Pop-up Florida thunderstorms are no joke (although, fortunately, most are short-lived) and you may find yourself suddenly soaked to the bone. Well, you don’t have to live like that. Instead, you need to carry around the ONE THING we keep in our day bag that comes in VERY handy when those storms hit: a $12 poncho (trust us — this is our go-to raingear).
Picture this. You’re planning a trip to Disney World, and you’re looking at the cost of bottled water in the parks. OUCH! It’s expensive. Don’t get tricked into paying all that money for a bottle of Dasani water; bring your own reusable water bottle and fill it for FREE.
Target
If you’re looking for a new reusable water bottle — both for Disney World AND at home — we’ve got just the thing for you. Target just released a new Owala collection online, and we’ve got a full look at the water bottles!
Disney Cruise Line is a fantastic choice of vacation for people who aren’t as big on the hustle and bustle of a regular Disney Parks day.
Disney Treasure!
Suppose you’d rather trade in running around the parks, booking Lightning Lanes, trying to make dining reservations, and potentially stressing about getting from one place to another for relaxing next to the pool all day, exploring Castaway Cay or Lighthouse Point, dining on whatever you’d like whenever you’d like, and knowing your kids can have a great (and safe!) time at the kids’ clubs. In that case, a Disney Cruise Line vacation would be perfect for you! However, we have to admit that there are a few downsides to cruising at times, and this reason right here is why we can’t have nice things.
Is it it just us or does food just taste better when it’s Mickey-shaped?
Mint Julep Bar!!
Like we know there are better pretzels out there than Mickey pretzels, but we will ALWAYS get a Mickey pretzel because it makes us happy. Mickey bars are pretty simple, but they can sometimes be the BEST snack ever on a hot day. Then there’s the Mickey Beignet, which is something we’re ALWAYS going to order, no matter what, ESPECIALLY in Disneyland. However, Mickey Beignets just got an upgrade and, dare we say, we think they might now be even BETTER?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
